1. I'm not a huge fan of treating computed properties as real data values -- because fundamentally they're not. One is part of the model's representation as a resource, and can be modified and saved back to the server, and the other is simply a computation based on the model. As peregrine suggests, I think they're much nicer as simple methods. For example:

2. Not all views display a single model -- some views show data from several, some views display an entire collection, and some views don't have any models attached. Additionally, if you tend to throw away your views at the same time you throw away your models (we tend to do this), you'll never have to unbind anything, as both are GC'd together.

It's only the case that if you tend to remove views but leave their models around to be rendered by other views later, then you need this sort of thing. And if that's the case for your app, then by all means, adding a `close()` function or the equivalent is a great idea.

2. The way I get around the problem is that bindModel takes (model, eventName, func, context) so having a view that represent different models isn't an issue in this case because it ends up being passed to bindModel.
